Massimiliano Allegri's Napoli side is facing a midfield crisis ahead of their Champions League showdown against Arsenal tonight. The Italian manager is short on midfield options, with Scott McTominay and André-Frank Zambo Anguissa unavailable. McTominay underwent a minor heart procedure on Tuesday and won't return to action until October, while Anguissa is dealing with an adductor injury.
This means Allegri only has four available central midfielders, and according to several sources in Italy, including Sky and Gazzetta, Billy Gilmour, Stanislav Lobotka, and Kevin De Bruyne will get the nod in the middle of the park, with Antonio Vergara initially on the bench. The three-man attack is the same Allegri picked in Saturday's Serie A match against Inter: Matteo Politano, Hojlund, and Alisson Santos.
The match is available on TNT Sports 2 and HBO Max in the UK and Ireland, and on Paramount+ in the USA. Football Italia will provide live updates via a Live blog.
